THE SEMMERING ROAD.

Ono Of the Most Remarkable RAILWAYS In
" Europe or In the World. a
The most remarkable feature of the
remainder of the route to Vienna5is
the railroad passage across the portion
of the Alps called the Scmmering. This
is the first road that crossed the Alps.
It was finished in 1854. At one of the
stations is a statue of tho engineer who
superintendent the work. They do
such things in Europe. lam not aware
that there are any statutes Of engineers
along the line of the Central OF South
ern Pacific railroads. But whether re-
garded from the standpoint Of scenery
Of that of great natural obstacles over
come by engineering genius, the por-
ton Of the route between Murzuschlag
and Gloggnitz is one Of the most re-
markable in Europe or in the world.
Something like it might be seen II q
railroad were made to skirt Yosemite
valley half way up its sides,
sometimes passing through the pro-
iecting capes of rock, sometimes
around them, and from time to time
crossing the indented valleys IN arched
causways resembling old Roman aque-
ducts. Little more than this can be
said of it in the way Of description.
The passage is more interesting going
north, for you see the finest portions OF
the line in descending. The speed is
greater. The train flies over the Via
duets, whizzes around sharp curves,
rushes into a little narrow valley At
the end and flies out again, plunges
into q short tunnel through d spur Of
rock not SO long that one end IS not
out Of it before the other has entered,
while far below are unsoundod depths,
with silver streams and little mountain:
villages, and far above tower heights,
that the eagle onlyEcan scale. There
are Id the distance Of a few miles som g
sixteen tunnels and fifteen causeWays,
some OF the latter supported BY SOW
eral tiers of arches. The tunnels vary
from d few yards to nearly . mile in
length.-Cor. San Frascisco Chronicle.
